hi... patient has been having rashes for 1 month. had other symptoms like fever and body aches. dr said it's not herpes but might be bacteria. after taking medication, rashes still persist. dr has taken bld sample for other test but at the meantime said it might be DH. there are some other things that i need to know about DH.

how long does it takes before the rashes/lesions will disappear? are there any other symtoms eg. fever, headache etc? is there any possibility that DH might affect patient's kidney esp when patient had kidney infections before?



txs,

leo
